IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT A GIVEAWAY!

You know that there is a giveaway going on at my blog; this is it: http://sweepstakelover.blogspot.com/2013/12/giveaway-amazing-200-dresses-from.htmlOur first giveaway for this company (DressSale) ended a few days ago, and I learned that they put a $200 minimum order condition to use the $30 gift card. They didn't tell me anything about it, so it's called cheating. Neither me nor my winners can use our gift cards, we don't have so much money to buy a piece of thing, and their shipping fee costs a bomb!So, I decided not to promote this company's giveaway and I will remove their banner from my valuable blog. I also want to cancel their ongoing giveaway if you wish. Actually I don't want to promote DressSale and I don't want to pick a winner for nothing at all. You can even unlike/unfollow their pages if I cancel their giveaway. Please tell me your thoughts; do you want to continue to participate in their giveaway, or do you want me to cancel it?I'm really sorry for this. I learned that they did the same thing to many bloggers. If I had known this in the beginning, I would have never accepted their giveaway offer. I also learned that they are a scammer; according to the reviews on internet, they send very low-quality products and never refund.UPDATE: I cancelled the giveaway and informed the company about this. They wanted to offer $30 with a new minimum order, but I refused. This isn't a kid's stuff!UPDATE #2: This morning, they contacted me again to offer the coupon without any minimum order. Hey, are you kidding me? Of course, I refused it again.UPDATE #3: They contacted me again asking how to make up this problem for me and for my readers. I told them they must offer the $30 coupon without minimum order and with free worldwide shipping. Of course, they didn't reply after that.

GreetingI already know that, because i have win a voucher to DressSale, and when i went to spend it, i realize i have to shop 200$ to use it. If i realize that in first place, i never had participated in the giveaway, and i never will in such conditions...a prize is a prize...and that's no prize. That is my personal opinion. Thank you Dalma for caring.

Oh shucks :( This is so bad. The giveaway on my blog is going right now. I will write to them regarding this. its not just a loss for their followers but my blog :( we take so much effort to plan a giveaway.

Wow thanks for posting this! I hate companies that lie and never end up doing as they say. I only thought ok this company sounds true to their word but how wrong i was, great post. Everyone needs to know about this. Thank you.

they should give a. voucher for $200 like they promissed....this is cheating for sure.....I enter giveaway because I can't afford to buy clothes so why would I want their voucher if you have. to spend your own money? thanks for letting. us all know

Thank you very much for your post, you're not the only one that this store + or cheating, or removed the Giveaway post a few hours ago by the same situation as you, I really do not want to mislead any of my followers with false advertising. Thank you very much for your post really helpful.

Thank you! I was one of the winners for the gift card. I wanted a necklace on there to wear for my daughters wedding and was told I had to spend $200.00. Was upset and I would NEVER buy from them at all now.

had the same experience, i won from another blogger, they gave me a $30 coupon code, when im about to purchase and entered the code, it gave me an error message telling me that i need to purchase a minimum of $200 before i can use the coupon... i have never experience anything like that, i've won several giveaways from sheinside, jollychic, persunmall and ahaishopping but had no problems... prizes were as good as cash...
